Tour description

Le Marais is the #1 discovery of every visitor to Paris.

It is where tourists want to stay on their next trip. And where Parisians dream to live.

Why? Because of its unique mix.

Old stones and elegant buildings, side-by-side with trend-setting stores and exciting places to hang. "next year's fashion is in Le Marais now" is the common saying.

On this tour, we promise small groups for an intimate experience.

We will see "Jewish Paris", aristocratic mansions, secluded gardens, and beautiful people. History and Trendy.

The guides base their comments on their personal experience. You get the stories behind the buildings, you hear what Le Marais means for a Parisian, you get pulled by the sleeve off-the-tourist-path.

Do not miss Le Marais!

Our commitments include: 
* small groups
* English-language tour led by a true local (no expat freshly off the plane)
* a mix of landmarks and hidden gems. Royal "Place des Vosges," secluded "hôtel Sully", Jewish "rue des rosiers", and the "talk-of-the-town" trendy

* accessible route. this tour is compatible for wheelchairs 
* average group size is 9. Average tip is €12.95
